My after workout meal ☺️💕
-
Nothing nourishes me like papaya. If you’ve followed me for more than a week you probably know about my deep adoration for this beautiful fruit☺️
-
After yoga this morning there was nothing else I wanted (Um... though @jackienoms reminded me we had passion fruit, so you know I put some of that on these 😬)
-
Your body needs hydration and simple sugars first and foremost after any workout, which papaya has in droves. As an afterthought you need protein which, you guessed it, papaya also has! It also has these things in the amounts that your body craves.

Ever since I went raw fruit based I can see my recovery happen in less than half the time. I’m also noticing that I’m progressing and making improvements in much quicker iterations than I ever did before. I totally understand why people feel like they’re gaining super powers on a fruit diet 🤣

Spinach soup 🥣 for LIFE! 🙌🏼☘️💚 With rainbow radishes. 🌱🌈🌱
I’m on Day 7 of my 8th 3:6:9 and today is quite a bloated day again. I’ve been eating a little to much too fast yesterday so today I’m suffering the consequences.
Not only are bloatings physically uncomfortable but they also make me more moody and bring me into a feeling of wanting to do nothing. 🙃
But little disciplined me still keeps on working and getting things done.
On those days I usually opt for apple cucumber juice instead of applesauce with cucumbers and celery. 😉👌🏼💦

Little evening snack ☺️💕
-
Was really feeling something savory last night, so I chopped up some fruits and greens and had some lettuce wraps! I also added a little bit of raw hummus to these.
-
Simple and hit the spot! Was so refreshing to bite into ☺️
-
Hope everyone is enjoying your Monday! 💚

A typical snap of my grocery basket 😍 full of color and fresh veggies. Now don’t get me wrong I do indulge in some vegan junk food items (chips, soy based nuggets or pizza) but that’s only once in a while. My regular routine consists of juices & smoothies for breakfast, sautéed veggies for lunch, soups, wraps, salads or zucchini noodles w tomato sauce for dinner. More importantly I try to get fiber in as much as I can.

Good morning!! It's snowing again ❄️☃️ and super cold! But I still got my early walk in and now I'm cozy inside with my celery juice & green smoothie! Best way to start the day. 😊🍃🌿 #goodmorning#greensmoothie#smoothietime

Monday’s and mangos just go together beautifully 🤗I’ve had terrible luck getting nice mangos! The red ones are almost always brown on the inside:-( The small yellow ones however are almost always perfect 👌🏻 I hope you have a wonderful work week 💕😘

On the menu for a limited time we will have a very special raw coconut curry.
Lovingly poured over zucchini, carrot and red capsicum noodles, topped with bean sprouts and coriander, this curry is the perfect balance of creamy coconut and spice 🌶😛.
.
Deliciously light and fresh for these warmer days why not pair it with a matcha latte? We did and it was AMAZING.

A couple weeks ago, l went back plantbased (NOT VEGAN) there IS a difference🌱 & my results are really starting to show! My skin is clearing up, my collar bones are starting to show, I’m losing weight & inches, I have more energy, etc I get a lot of DM’s about how to successfully transition into a vegan &/or plant based lifestyle; & one of the tips l would give is to have GRACE with yourself! You WILL still crave tons of unhealthy food & you MAY have days where you slip up & eat something you’re not supposed to! It happens! Don’t let that MOMENT turn into a day...a week, etc! @pinterest is your bestie! I get a ton of recipes off of there; + My sister & I do create recipes that are amazing too! You can pretty much make ANYTHING plantbased &/or vegan when you’re out in public! Yes, you will become one of those “annoying” people who check ingredients and ask what vegan options there are at restaurants! Sometimes I even bring my own condiments in my purse! Don’t be shamed about it K?!!🤷🏽‍♀️ Know what YOU like to snack on! I love crunchy things + sweets; So l make sure l keep those kind of gluten-free healthy snacks in my kitchen! I also run a business from home and most days don’t feel like stopping and cooking lots so PREPARATION IS KEY! If you fail to plan, you plan to fail as a vegan/plantbased person! We usually plan our meals and go grocery shopping on Sunday’s for those EXACT ingredients! It saves a TON of money because you’re not eating out a lot &/or running back and forth to the grocery store!💡💰 Lastly, I also drink half my body weight in water DAILY with 🍋; & I drink green tea Kombucha almost every day with agave + apple cider Vinegar in it! (The tea is optional; but water is NOT) Ultimately, give yourself grace and be in this for the long haul! If you eat fish or something with dairy; Take it and move on! Get back disciplined! Remember, being PLANTBASED is when you really get the health benefits; Not vegan! Oreos are vegan! Lol If you want to cut out bloating, STAY AWAY FROM GLUTEN! Ok I’m done for now...Thought I’d answer a ton of things here for all of you who DM me lol Any more questions, comment below👇🏾 Love ya’ll!!✨

Winter fruits as a raw vegan!
-
I find it so beautiful that in most parts of the world, colder temperatures means citrus fruits. As the human body becomes more inclined towards mucus production and lymph movement, we’re gifted fruits that actually pull this from the body and help us to eliminate it much easier!
-
This is one of those times I truly feel like a cell in Mother Earth’s body. She supports me and sends me what I need when I need it ☺️
-
I’ve gotten in the habit of ONLY buying Satsuma mandarins and I realized I really really need to branch out. They’re so so so delicious and have been so consistently so, but there are other citrus fruits out there just waiting for me!
-
So this week I reserve myself to try 3 new citrus varieties. Let’s see how it goes at the farmer’s market today!

What’s your favorite winter fruit?

20/365: Blueberry Muffin Smoothie. Taking inspiration from my favourite Portuguese smoothie/juice haunt, @yaopressedjuicery, I've re-created their delicious and nutritious blend and it tastes amazing!
Blueberries are soooo great for our health. Each little berry is like an explosion of goodness; they're jam-packed full of anti-oxidants and they are crazy-good for skin health. Keeping our gut bacteria flourishing will enable our immune systems to function optimally. Good news all round and the good guys in the gut will be doing the conga! Oooooosh!
Recipe: 1 x cup of frozen blueberries, half a cup of GF oats, 1 x frozen banana, 3 x tbsp of dairy-free yogurt, vanilla seeds, 3 x tbsp of coconut nectar, 1 x tsp of cinnamon, a good glug of @vitacoco coconut water. Blend and serve!!!

In each and every day, we should set-aside time for a lovely bit of self-care. When we nurture and nourish ourselves, we have the capacity to nurture and nourish others. As its self-care Sunday, I thought I'd share this little thought. We water our own grass first thus enabling us to help others to water theirs 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱Link in bio to my beautifully-curated, 100% vegan, luxury self-care NourishMe Wellness Box xxx

The day’s come & go so quick each moment I like to spend appreciating as many little things thruout the day that I can see around me!!! 😘 Like these little beauties.... bursting with nourishment & flavour!! How gorgeous do they look?? And they can be eaten as a mono meal with so much goodness in each little burst. 😛 They are in fact a fruit botanically known as a berry!! I can eat a whole bowl like these no problemo!!!🙊😄
